Does the handle get hot during stovetop use?
The stainless steel handle is designed to be sturdy, but it may become hot if used over high heat for extended periods; use an oven mitt for safety.

What is the capacity of the 30cm wok?

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Check that the heat is not set too high; ceramic coatings perform best on low-to-medium heat. Also, ensure the pan is cleaned thoroughly to remove any invisible oil residue buildup.
The pan is not heating on an induction cooktop
Verify that the induction zone size matches the base of the wok. If the zone is too large, the sensor may not detect the pan.
Light scratches visible on the surface
While minor surface marks are often cosmetic, discontinue the use of metal utensils immediately to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the wok with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. While the wok is induction-compatible, always ensure the base is centered over your induction zone for the most efficient energy transfer.
Maintenance Tips:
- Utensils: Use only wood, plastic, or silicone tools. Never use metal spatulas or knives, as they will scratch the ceramic coating.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive pad. Avoid high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can degrade the non-stick properties over time.
- Storage: If stacking the wok with other pans, place a soft cloth or felt protector between them to protect the interior surface from scratches.
